Two life-saving defibrillators have been installed outside playing fields and a community centre after a push by councillors.

Karen Mathieson and Dave McCobb, who are Liberal Democrat councillors for the Beverley ward, have managed to secure two new defibrillator units at the Trafalgar Centre in Compass Road and the Oak Road playing fields.

After hearing about how they can save lives, Cllr Mathieson encouraged the council to purchase the equipment for the two key areas.

“A defibrillator can save the life of someone in cardiac arrest and it is great news that we have secured two new units for the Beverley Road area," Cllr Mathieson said.
